Adding separate footways needs a lot of care to not break things. I did a quick check in Bern and couldn't find any larger deletions of footways, so we need to wait till Andreas gives us a pointer.
I did see a rather large amount of "original" mapping and tagging that would be a good idea to avoid by everybody contributing in Bern given that it is a high density and important area.

Hello,
It is not me :-) But as talk a few weeks on talk mailing list, create a separate walkway when in fact it is actually connected to the road breaks the routing. A routing suggests that you can always cross the road when in reality it is not always true (barrier, hedge, ...). Another assumes that you can never cross if there is no path between the barrier and the road. For now, IMHO the best solution is to add the tag sidewalk to the road when the counter is against the road. The kerb tag is then useful for people with reduced mobility. The geographic precision is less but in any case the gps regularly have an imprecision as great as the width of the road. There is a proposal to improve routing for separate trotters but it is not completed and no routing to my knowledge uses it
PS: Look for the example described on talk, you will see funny results.

Hello
Have noticed, there is a "sidewalk cleaner" under way doing some nasty work in Berne.
Please Mr. Cleaner, don't do that. There is a reason for sidewalks mapped beside of the street: Visual impaired people, so called blind people.
In a long run, highway:footway and highway:footway + footway:sidewalk will serve as basis for a map for visual impaired people.
Thx for your cooperation and understanding.
